MY FAVORITE BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING VEGAN BLOGS

Do you want to look at beautiful
healthy food blogs, but don’t know any good web sites? There are many wonderful vegan blogs with
gorgeous picture, but finding the best ones is not easy, and whether or not you
will like them depends upon your individual food tastes.What I have below are the web sites I
frequent the most and find beautiful, inspiring or useful.Because of my personal tastes, I stay away
from any that are too gourmet, have a lot of sriracha (because it is too hot
for me), or if they use too many avocados or sweet potatoes.The reason I do not choose web sites with a
lot of avocados and sweet potatoes is because they are there, in my opinion, to
make pictures look lovely with their colors, but it does not necessarily make
the recipes taste good.Most of the
following sites are recipe blogs, but I have also listed a few animal rights
blogs, some health blogs and some miscellaneous blogs that are enjoyable.

Vegan Recipes Blogs:

www.findingvegan.com.This site’s purpose is to find vegan recipes
on the Internet each day and post them.It is a great way to find a recipe you want, click on it, and possibly
find a new blog you like as well!

punchfork/vegan (on Pinterest).This site also finds popular vegan recipes.Great way to see a lot of recipes at once!

www.maplespice.com.
Debbie has a great variety of recipes
which look quite tasty.This is a new
site for me, but I already see a few recipes I want to try.

www.ordinaryvegan.net.Nancy
has beautiful recipes and a top blog.I
think this blog will be a favorite of mine.

www.veganmotherhubbard.com.I love Sandra’s recipes and her blog,
including pictures of her twins.I have
made several of her sandwiches and some bars.

www.mouthwateringvegan.com.Miriam creates beautiful food!Many are Indian or Mid-Eastern dishes.She also has an online magazine she publishes
for a small fee.

Pictures and recipes of what they
eat every day.They seem to be very
adept at using tofu.I think I will
enjoy this site.

www.chezbettay.com.Betty cooks from scratch and also by using
packaged foods to make gourmet-like meals.I plan to make Aloha Artichoke Lave Dip soon!

www.vegweb.com.This is a huge basic site where members
contribute their recipes.Star ratings
help me make choices of what to try! I
have made Dump Cake (so easy and divine with the pecans baked on top),
Thanksgiving Casserole, Chocolate Chip Cookies - Like They Should Be, and New York-a-like
Peppermint Patties.I have also repeated
each of these recipes because they were so successful.

www.Ohsheglows.com.This site has beautiful pictures and Angela
seems like a person everyone would want as a friend.She updates her site almost every day.Her “Glazed Lentil Walnut Apple Loaf,
Revisited” got raves from my co-workers!Angela does make a lot of gluten-free recipes, shakes and drinks which
are not my interest.I like to eat my
food and love my carbs.

www.vegancoach.com.This site is not fancy, and a lot of it is
advertising for Sassy’s vegan classes, but if you poke around, you can find her
very practical and yummy recipes (currently under the “Everyday Cooking”
category at the top).Click then scroll
down for recipes.I love making the
vegan Mini Cheese n’ Chive Muffins!

athletes look like or how they train, this is the web site for you!

record holder of races that average around 160 miles without stopping – on a
vegan diet!He has a cookbook and his
web site shows scenery where he runs high in the mountains – places most of us
never see!

about factory farm abuse:search the
videos.Any of the “Meet your Meat”
videos are informative.

www.Adaptt.org.
Activism from a more radical standpoint (not all approve of his radical nature,
even he has turned more to education now, but loads of good information on his
site) and a fantastic speech!Do watch
his speech called “The Greatest Speech You Will Ever Hear.” This is the
speech:http://www.adaptt.org/life-changing-speech.html.

www.drmcdougall.com.I like to click on “Education” (title in
upper left), then click “Health and Science” (upper right) and then click “Hot
Topics” (upper right).Scroll down –

and videos.

houses from many countries around the world, and pictures of food from some
vegan restaurants too.

About Me

I became an atheist thanks to YouTube! For years I hovered between having a God, being "spiritual" and being agnostic - in fact, most of my life. There was only a short period of time when I was a Jesus Freak along with my brother, but I did not fit in with his group. I attended a religious college for two years and felt like the "odd woman out" there as well. One day on the main page of AOL there was a picture of Kirk Cameron and another picture of a pretty young blond woman with curly long hair and a cute little chin. They said she got more "hits" on YouTube than Kirk did! Of course, it was Zomgitscriss! I watched her video and thought, "You know, I think like she does, but she is a lot smarter than I am!" I watched more of her videos, and she said it was just a hop, skip and jump from agnosticism to atheism. I thought, "Oh, I could never be an atheist - it's such a harsh word!" I decided to look at her favorites and saw a big guy with long hair who looked like he belonged in a motorcycle gang. I smirked and thought, "This will be good - let's see what he has to say," thinking he had to sound dumb. It turned out to be Aron Ra, and I was treated to video after video about evolution, taxonomy and phylogeny - subjects I knew nothing about! What an education! One day, I clicked on Pangeaprogress' videos. I saw his beautiful nature videos of Africa. Suddenly, a pack of lions surrounded an antelope and started eating her, slowly, starting at the hips and wherever they could bite. I was totally shocked. I had been overprotected a good share of my life, and my mother always told me that animals "always went right for the neck and the death was over in an instant." Well, it wasn't. From that moment on, I was an atheist. No God could sit by and watch such cruelty and pain and suffering and allow it to happen. No excuses. This is how YouTube converted me, and my eyes have been opened to so many new ideas thanks to the Internet!
